Celebration Song

For long have I shackled my voice,
Afraid of the echoes screaming my pain;
But the time has come to set it free,
For now I'm sure you've heard me again.

Forgot the roads we'd once walked together,
Overgrown as they lay before today,
Roads I'd given up as lost forever,
Till I found my new path winding your way.

If I could paint the sky, just the stars and you,
You'd shine brighter than the brightest few,
So let me splash the colours I've seen,
Cause all I want to do is celebrate you.

Like a minstrel with his magic flute,
Singing songs for a princess he once knew;
Let me weave my words into a tune,
Cause all I want to do is serenade you.

I do not know where our feet will lead us next,
Thoughts of tomorrow can't obscure my view,
I'll lose myself in these moments we've found,
Cause all I want to do is remember you.

i like your earlier themes better.. maybe because of the imagery which made things come alive..

btw, how do you choose a particular theme? if there's no connection between what's on your mind n the themes of ur poems it makes the seizure theory likely to be true.. on the other hand, u might actually be a romantic sheep making a valiant but nevertheless hopelessly doomed attempt to fit into a cynical wolf's clothing.. u should read that phantoms in the brain book sometime..
